    Quantity of water in a 350 litres mixture (Milk + Water)

    is 50 litres less than the quantity of milk in it. Find the quantity of water to be mixed so that the quantity of milk in the mixture becomes 50% of the whole mixture.
    A 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of water in the mixture = {(350 - 50)/2} = 150 litres

    So, quantity of milk in the mixture = (350 - 150) = 200 litres

    Total quantity of the mixture if quantity of milk in the mixture becomes 50% = 200 × (100/50) = 400

    So, quantity of water needs to be mixed = (400 - 350) = 50 litres
